Start-up and use

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct

amount of detergent being used; exceeding the stated

amount does not result in a more effective wash and

increases environmental pollution.

Only use detergent which has been specifically

designed for dishwashers.

     DO NOT USE washing up liquid.

Using excessive detergent may result in foam

residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has

ended.

The use of tablets is only recommended for

models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS

option.

To achieve the best results from each washing

and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid

and salt should be used.

Compartment A:

 Washing detergent

Compartment B:

 Pre-wash detergent

1. Open cover C by pressing

button D.

2. Pour in the detergent after

consulting the 

Table of wash

cycles:

• For powder detergent use

compartments A and B.

• For detergent in tablet form:

when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment

A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the

second tablet at the bottom of the appliance.

3. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the

compartment and close the cover until it clicks.

during certain periods of inactivity, in order to

minimise electricity consumption.

Modifying a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection

process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that

it has only just begun: once the wash cycle has started,

switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/

OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same

button and select the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding

indicator light will flash). Open the door, taking care to

avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside

the appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light):

the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the

machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start

*

 function

(if selected) is interrupted.

At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is

a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point

at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut

or once the electricity supply is restored.

cycle may be used in order to save water, electricity and

detergent. Select the wash cycle and press the HALF

deselected and the indicator light switches off.

3. The countdown will begin once the Start/Pause button

has been pressed. The selected delay period indicator

light flashes and the Start/Pause button stops flashing

(the light becomes fixed instead).
